Lips by Season.
If you read the magazines, you know that the
trendy makeup looks change with the weather, and
the clothes. In general, the color palette for
autumn features colors of pumpkin and spice, with
bronzes, browns, taupes and dark reds. Lipstick
follows along, with darker tones, golden hues and
brown touches.
Winter usually sees a return to clearer, more
gemstone-type colors,
including black and white. Lips for daytime are
often seen in reds.
Spring comes in pastels and pale but bright tones,
pinks, light green, lots of white and off-white,
mimicking spring flowers. Lipsticks are usually
paler too, in pinks and corals, often in
translucent glosses.
In summer, you'll usually see the brightest colors
in clothing. Hawaiiana, vacation-type clothing and
playclothes fit the season. Lips can be any number
of colors--usually brighter and more translucent
than fall and winter looks, but bolder than
spring.

Long Lasting Lip Color that is Smear, Smudge,
Kiss and Rub Proof– Is it Possible?
 Looking
for lovely lip color that won't come off on
clothing, cups or napkins? It exists, and it's a
beautiful thing. Gone are the days of messy
lipstick, reapplied after meals, drinking or
smooching. Lipstick on the cheek or collar is a
thing of the past, too. In fact, some women don't
even use lipstick anymore because of the invention
of smear proof, water-proof, long lasting lip
color in dozens of gorgeous, just-right shades.
There are various kinds of lip color, but among
the best is a product made with all natural and
herbal extracts, sunscreen and a patented process
that makes it wear proof. The proof? Each kit
comes with a product designed to remove the lip
color when you're ready to switch shades. Called Lip Ink, it contains no preservatives. Better yet,
it feels like bare skin.
Want lip color that stays where you put it? Here
it is!

When it comes to choosing lip color, there are two
schools of thought. The magazines choose to match
lip color to the clothes (which are also matched
to the coloration on the models). But if your
facial and hair coloring isn't suited to a
particular lipstick shade, it doesn't make sense
to wear that shade just because it matches your
sweater. The second (and I think, more effective)
idea is that your lipstick should match you first
and foremost.
There are general ideas about which lipstick
colors look good on which people, but lipstick for
evening often ignores the precepts of daytime lip
color. That's okay: nighttime lighting is vastly
different, it's okay to upsize the dramatic
aspects of makeup at night, and if you like a
certain shade, why shouldn't you wear it?
Matching lip color to hair color is kind of
weird, because no two redheads (or blonds, or
brunettes) have the same hair and face tones. It's
best to suit your lip color to your face. It's not
brain surgery; most faces have either warm
undertones or cool ones, and lipstick can either
play up your natural coloring or clash with it. If
you want a lipstick that plays it safe while
adding just a little boost of color, find a shade
that is just a tad brighter than your natural lip
color.
